Xstrata Canada

IMP provided an automated FIFA system to Xstrata in Canada. The system automatically fuses samples, separates the lead from the slag and automatically analyses the lead button to determine the PGE, gold and silver content.

The lead button is then surface prepared and presented to the Optical Emission Spark Spectrometer for analytical quantification of precious metals collected in the lead. Alternatively the lead button can be removed from the output magazine for traditional cupellation analysis.

Casting of the melt into a Cowan separator for production of Lead button.
